Dana White Gives His Verdict on Bellator vs. Rizin Like Cross-Promotion Fights in the UFC: “They Are Going to Be Here Anyway”
UFC and its beloved President, Dana White, were caught in the middle of a public curiosity. It has been alleged that the UFC doesn’t pay their fighters well enough. Also, White has been asked several times why the UFC doesn’t do cross-promotion fights. Paddy Pimblett’s last podcast featuring Dana White held some of the answers to these questions. White brutally answered the public question while also calling out the people who throw shade on the organization. It is clear that White doesn’t like bad publicity for the organization he has worked so hard for.
In the video, fans can see White talking about the issue raised by the general public. He also suspects the opposing leagues to have put this question out there. This can be a smart tactic to raise objections on the dominating MMA league, UFC. Pimblett also speaks in White’s defense in the podcast.

What does Dana White have to say?
On the allegations that the UFC doesn’t support its fighters, White lashed out publicly. The policy that UFC fighters can’t fight cross-league MMA events has bothered some audiences. Recently, the promotion was accused of not supporting its fighters by restricting their game. Dana White spoke out loud on Paddy Pimblett’s podcast, “For a lot of these guys who say we don’t promote guys… It’s just stuff that I don’t even waste my f**ing time arguing with these f**ing scumbags.”
Even though White’s claim is that he doesn’t argue with such accusers, the news surely bothers him.

“Do you think that I would go on PFL or Bellator and I’d get a million-pound sponsorship? People have got a brain out there but some of them don’t use it,” Paddy Pimblett added in Dana White’s defense.
The duo went ahead to talk about the ‘talkers’; people who just like to raise questions but not prove them with actions. White is well aware of such people and stays clear of them.
